Silver Falls State Park hike with mom

Mom and I intended to go hiking with my mama friends on Saturday, but given the weather forecast (100% chance of cold rain), we decided to delay and go on Sunday instead, just the two of us. It ended up being a beautiful day - crisp and sunny, with spring in the air. We hiked the 7-mile Trail of Ten Falls at Silver Falls State Park and it was wonderful. The waterfalls were gushing with water, a breathtaking sight, the trail was solid and well maintained, and we started early enough that it was not too busy. It was a lovely day - company, scenery, weather - and I can't wait for another.
A rainbow from the spray at South Falls! An auspicious omen to start our day.

Approaching Middle Falls, another one you walk behind.
Twin Falls, falling straight into mom's head. :)
 North Falls, which you hear and feel before you can see it, thundering 136 feet to the basin below.
